Candy 100 ml bottle IQOS in San José: the review shortlist
Candy in San José: 19 units tested over 9 weeks, 100 ml bottle formats, priced per 10 ml for Costa Rica.
What the label on Candy is allowed to say
If you are looking at candy in Costa Rica, the first question is not strength. It is whether the 100 ml bottle you are quoting actually fits the device on your desk.
The honest read on candy: 19 units through the same routine over 9 weeks, and the difference between a good batch and a bad one came down to batch age, not the sticker price.
The short version: candy in San José works if the 100 ml bottle, the coil and the strength are chosen as one system. Everything below is what we measured while doing exactly that.
What a candy 100 ml bottle really costs in San José
Candy in a 100 ml bottle is not the same product you see in a catalogue photo, and the price per 10 ml is where the gap shows. In San José the liquid, the coil and the power setting all have to agree before the flavour actually lands.
How we tested candy in a 100 ml bottle
- Settle the draw first: mouth-to-lung or direct-to-lung, because it decides the coil and the liquid.
- Pick the 100 ml bottle that fits the device already on your desk, not the one on the headline page.
- Choose strength against the ceiling in Costa Rica, which is the local legal limit for retail here.
- Clear PG/VG ratio on the label, which predicts throat hit more accurately than strength.
- Returns window and who pays return postage when a 100 ml bottle arrives sealed but wrong.
- Batch code and production date, so a candy bottle turned in 9 weeks ago is not sold as new.
- Spare parts availability for 100 ml bottle in Costa Rica, since tanks and pods go first.
Where candy goes wrong
- Treating the advertised ₡45 entry kit as the real cost when refills run ₡1.95 per 10 ml.
- Chasing a discount on a 100 ml bottle that then needs an adapter nobody in Costa Rica stocks.
- Buying the cheapest 100 ml bottle available and repeating it because the first coil burnt.
The rules that apply here
Wholesale lines to Costa Rica need import documents the retail shop does not; ask for them in writing before a bulk order.
Packaging for candy in Costa Rica must be child-resistant, and the batch code has to be readable without cutting the shrink wrap.

Frequently asked questions
Why does candy taste burnt?
Almost always the coil, not the liquid. On the 100 ml bottle units we ran, a coil past 4 days turned the candy blend itself harsh.
What nicotine strength should candy start at?
Start at whatever Costa Rica allows on the label. If you already smoke, drop one step; if not, half of it for a 100 ml bottle.
Is buying in bulk actually cheaper?
Not automatically. On candy the budget price and the premium price can sit within ₡1.95 per 10 ml once 4–9 business days is counted.
